I am going to be out of town for a few days in Las Vegas. There's a big convention of photographers that meet there annually, and I'm going for my first time. I have previously tried to avoid this convention due to my incredible love of gear. Somehow I don't think it is safe for me my wallet to be walking a tradeshow floor full of the latest camera gear. But, I'm throwing caution to the wind and packing my bags, including an empty one just in case. If you need to get a hold of me, my iPhone is coming of course...so I'll still be in touch.

And, since no blog post is complete without some photos...here's a few point & shoot from when I took the girls down to San Diego last month. Anna's highlight of the San Diego trip was taking my aunt's dogs to Dog Beach in Del Mar. She spent hours throwing the tennis ball for the dogs, and even had fun giving them a bath afterwards. Holly's favorite part of the San Diego trip was seeing family...but of course, I didn't take any photos of that. UGH. So, here's a few from Disneyland. She got a stuffed cat (Marie?) that she carried on every ride with her. I couldn't figure out why Holly rode the merry-go-round with her head facing up so strangely, until I saw this photo...she was imitating Marie who she had put on the horse next to her.
